Re: Fluorescent Light with BC Light in
The Atlas brand fittings did indeed use a filament lamp instead of a choke, it was part of an effort by them to try to make a lightweight flouro lamp that could be used in domestic settings without the need to install new wiring. I did some experiments a while back using filament lamps as ballasts in 2 and 4 foot fittings it all worked surprisingly well, the tubes were a little dimmer and slower to start but the difference was hardly a big problem. I used 100 and 150 watt bulbs, both worked well
